- 2 tsp baking powder
- 115 g unsalted butter, melted
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 400 ml coconut milk

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then add the melted butter, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform. Be careful not to overmix.
